I have a box where I just split a hardware RAID-1 to make two logical volumes. I'm laying down SVM metadb. Because this was previously a hardware mirror, I'm seeing something perhaps like a ghosted metadb from when these two disks were paired up.
# metadb -a -f -c3 c0t0d0s7 c0t1d0s7 metadb: mddev2: metadevice database replica exists on device I know there isn't one on either slice 7, because if I just do # metadb -a -f -c3 c0t0d0s7 OR # metadb -a -f -c3 c0t1d0s7, it will work. Just not both. When I do a metainit, I get an "overlap" error. # metainit -f d12 1 1 c0t1d0s0 metainit: mddev2: c0t1d0s0: overlaps with device in d11 Everything works as expected if I just do it using one disk. I've checked to see that I don't have some strange multipath weirdness that's presenting me with 2 device names leading to one physical disk, this is not the case. I'm at a loss. I can't clear the metadb when the tool proper can't decide if there IS or there is NOT a metadb on that disk.
